Hello all! Sitting in a meeting on some new technology at my Dad’s work today…so a great time to blog as I have not much idea what they are saying, and surprisingly enough, it is all in ENGLISH!

Apparently he is pretty critical over here to the plastics molding engineering department. He is working on Microsoft Xbox and other big projects you would recognize. Having fun so far except for the lunch. Man, can’t wait to get home and gain some of these pounds back! Looking forward to an awesome western restaurant tonight with my Mom and Dad as Tiff and Christian took off from Hong Kong today (Your Sunday Night and will land around 8:30 Monday night your time). Pray for their flight and that they can rest! Here are some highlights:

• Amazing services yesterday @ our New Hope Campus. We then baptized 2 people and I will be baptizing up to 6 more people tomorrow night! Praise God!
• I still can’t believe what goes on over here. Inside this building where Dad works is fingerprint access. Outside is smelly ghetto. No joke. These factory workers make nothing and work 12 hours a day 5 days a week! (They make $250 a month plus get a small, tiny apartment type dorm room, yes, 1 room).
• There are over a billion people and my heart is so full of the fact that they need the Lord. think of this with me. If you thought the previous generation didn’t know Christ, try kicking out millions of new people. The next generation truly needs the Lord as they are evermore led astray. Wow. Do you hear their hearts crying out? All of our jobs are coming here and the world is putting BILLIONS of dollars here…and why? Greed. And when we do this, we hold them under bondage even more until they are liberated as well and have at least basic freedoms.
• I just had a call that I will be baptizing someone else Tuesday in secret. Why in secret? Her boyfriend works for the government and NO ONE can know about this, not even those in her church family for her fear of retribution. Wow…today has been so eye-opening, and I thought that I was just going to work with Dad for a day.
• On the way here I saw more people living in tin shacks. Tomorrow before the baptisms, I will be spending the day out into the rural countryside. I am sure my report will be eye-opening.

That’s it for today. I just ask that you pray. Not just for CHINA, but as we talked about this weekend in the services @ NH…WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO RISK FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD. The world was just opened up to me in new ways the past 2 weeks…and my heart is excited, but yet grieved. But to reach the world…it begins with each of us…yes YOU, and ME…doing our part in prayer, serving, giving and listening to the voice of God.

Blessings and Peace…Ti Chien.
